Peter T. King of NY needs to be primaried in his quest to become a senator from NY. When it comes to the Second Amendment, he's a typical RINO.

chronically poor <----- what the heck is that?

and isn't it great how the left wants to protect these people's 'right' to free living by fighting against ID requirement but the 2nd Amendment means nothing to them

So the older people and young families that are there have no way to defend themselves against the gun toting thugs that infest public housing. Yeah that’s smart. s/

My argument is that permitting guns in public housing doesn’t go far enough. That is, many of the people in public housing were never raised with any form of legitimate “gun culture”, so they deserve some special training, likely provided by the NRA, to help them regain “family knowledge” of proper gun use and safety.

It’s the same idea as giving people training in the proper use of a table saw (admittedly a far more dangerous tool than a gun), if they had no familiarity with it, either.

So the question becomes: How can the training be made available to people who are otherwise poor?

In principle, since the housing authority has deprived them of their 2nd Amendment rights all these years, it would not be outrageous to require them to pay for at least a few group classes, for those individuals legally permitted to own firearms (no felons or mentally ill.)

On the plus side, once a gun culture has taken root, it will provide immediate dividends by strongly reducing crime and its associated costs.

We can give them California. The liberals (Socialists) in California and the Taliban should get along just fine.

“There was a time during the ’70s and ’80s when public housing developments were considered killing grounds,” said Emanuel Cleaver II , D-Mo., who grew up in public housing. “It is just foolhardy to place guns in developments of poor people, many of whom are unemployed, and place these guns around children. . . ." The racism demonstrated by this liberal is disgusting; and from someone who probably considers himself above all that.

ALLOWED? To exercise a RIGHT? Next thing you know they will be “allowed” to speak publicly and to go to the church of their choice. But only after proper permission has been given.

Joe, you need to see this one.
